AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique mechanical travel alarm clock, probably dating from the early decades of the 20th century.
It features a distinctive dial with main numeration from 1 to 12 and an inner red scale from 13 to 24, a separate hand for setting the alarm, and a travel case.
The clock and the alarm function are both working at the time of testing. The mechanism is hand-wound.
There is no clearly identifiable maker's mark. A letter "M" is impressed on the back.
French production is likely but not confirmed. Along with the clock there is a handwritten note from a previous owner indicating purchase in Lyon, France, and suggesting a dating around 1916. This information is not documented by a factory trademark and is therefore reported as indications from the previous owner.
The case and the clock show wear, scratches and signs of time consistent with age. Please study the photographs closely, which are an integral part of the description.
Dimensions approximately: 12 × 10 × 3 cm.
Weight: about 213 g.
The handwritten note with instructions for regulation, winding and use of the alarm is included in the lot.
